I love it! Why can't more states be like Virginia? Every time Bush comes to Nashville, driving across town becomes a nightmare. Tennessee should follow Virginia's example. When he comes here next week to collect money for crooks, liars and racists, make him helicopter in.
And he should either pay for it out of his own pocket, or let his miserable party pay.
The last time Bush came to Nashville, it cost tax-payers a small fortune. This is a poor state. Why do we have to pay for the pResident to come here to pick up money for his lousy party's political campaigns? This is a blue county, when Bushie comes here and we pay for it, Democrats are paying for Republican fundraisers. Let the friggin' Dark Side pay their own way.
Urgent Fundraiser? Bush Wanted Carpool Lanes Closed
President Ends Up Taking Helicopter
WASHINGTON -- Talk about political gridlock. Secret Service officials confirm to The Washington Post they tried to get the Virginia Department of Transportation to close down the carpool lanes on a highway leading out of Washington Wednesday so President George W. Bush could easily get to and from a fundraiser for Republican Sen. George Allen.
State experts who monitor traffic predicted a commuting nightmare, because they would have had to close down the lanes for much of the day for logistical reasons, so they denied the request.
Vehicles using Virginia's high occupancy vehicle lanes must have three or more riders from 3 p.m. to 6 p.m. Some hybrid vehicles and motorcycles are exempt.
The president traveled to the fundraiser by helicopter.
